完型填空

  Each of us fails from time to time.If we are wise, we accept these failures as a   1   part of the learning process.But all too often as parents and teachers, we disallow this   2   right to our children.

  When I see a child   3   to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.

  Donnie was my youngest third grader.His   4   of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed.He   5   answered questions-he might be wrong.

  I tried my best to build his   6  .But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned(安排)to our classroom.

  She was young and pretty, and she loved children.My pupils, Donnie included,   7   her.

  One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard.Donnie had   8   the problems with painstaking neatness.Pleased with his progress, I   9   the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials.When I returned, Donnie was in   10  .He’d missed the third problem.

  My student teacher looked at me in despair.Suddenly her face   11  .From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.

  "Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently   12   the tear stained face from his arms."I’ve got something to   13   you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.

  "See these   14  , Donnie," she continued."They belong to Mrs.Lindstrom and me.See how the erasers are   15  ?That’s because we make mistakes too.But we erase the mistakes and try again.That’s what you   16   I learn to do, too."

  She kissed him and stood up."Here," she said, "I’ll leave one of these pencils on   17   desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes,   18   teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

  The pencil became Donnie’s   19   possession.That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually   20   him that it’s all right to make mistakes-as long as you erase them and try again.

For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
【小题1】The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means “    ”.

【小题2】The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because        .

A.he had planned for that for a long time
B.he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
C.he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
D.his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
【小题3】How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
A.He practiced writing mainly on his own.
B.He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
C.He joined a handwriting training class.
D.He employed a coach to teach him online.
【小题4】What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
A.Unacceptable.B.Perfect.C.Worse.D.Better.
